Abstract: |
Planning permission for the construction of a single storey rear extension and new paving at The Three Tuns PH, Main Road, Biddenham was granted by Bedford Borough Council. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the archaeological works in accordance with the methodologies described in a Written Scheme of Investigation (Albion Archaeology 2013), produced in response to the recommendations of the Bedford Borough Council's Senior Archaeological Officer. Three early/high medieval ditches and a medieval pit were identified within the footings and drainage trenches for the extension to the Three Tuns Public House, in addition to a modern pit, several drains and modern layers. The ditches are likely to have defined property boundaries and plot subdivisions to the south of Main Road. The investigation also identified evidence for levelling activity to the west of the three current buildings that is likely to have enhanced archaeological preservation in this area |
